Fran Hardy:
We will be doing a show on Oklahoma in collaboration with the Mabee-Gerrer Museum of Art in Shawnee, Oklahoma. Kim Baker will be the first artist we interview as well as documenting her Illinois River Survey events May 20-22, 2011. We are impressed with the work that Kim is doing with her photography to bring attention to the beauty of Oklahoma and the need to preserve it, especially the rivers. We will be updating our website over the next month to show where we will be going and who we will be interviewing in Oklahoma.
